Benefits of technology

Enables efficient and automated selection of network preferences, allowing users and administrators to evaluate historical network activity and optimize user experiences with minimal user intervention, improving network performance and user engagement.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, however, such recording requires the user to take conscious and specific steps to designate a particular network address or Web site as a “Favorite”.
Further, this approach to identifying preferred addresses provides little, if any ability for a user to evaluate network, sites visited.

Embodiment Construction

Applicants have recognized that there is a need for a system, method, apparatus and means for evaluating historical network activity. One benefit of embodiments of the present invention is that a network user or network administrator may evaluate historical network activity of one or more users. Further, users may readily establish network preference information with little or no input from the user. Other features and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure.

A description of a method pursuant to some embodiments of the present invention will now be provided by referring to the flow chart of FIG. 1. The particular arrangement of elements in the flow chart of FIG. 1 (and the other flow charts provided herein) is not meant to imply a fixed order to the steps; embodiments of the present invention can be practiced in any order that is practicable.

FIG. 1 depicts a process 10 for evaluating historical network activity and establishing prefer...

Abstract

A system, method, apparatus, and means for adjusting network preference information which includes detecting network activity. A characteristic of the network activity is measured. Network preference information is adjusted based on the characteristic. In some embodiments, network activity is network activity by a client device such as a computer accessing a network site.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to the transmission of information over networks. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to the recording and evaluation of historical network activity.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONNetworks such as the Internet have become ubiquitous and useful tools for individuals and businesses. Users frequently point their Internet browsers to World Wide Web (the “Web”) sites which they find particularly useful or interesting. For example, a financial analyst may frequent Web sites which provide current and timely market information. Some Internet browser software tools allow users to establish preferences to help users quickly point their browser to favorite Web sites. For example, Microsoft Corporation's Internet Explorer® browser allows a user to record one or more network addresses as “Favorites”. A financial analyst with a current favorite financial news Web site can designate the current favorite site as a “Favorite” in ...
